I do miss the hints and banter of our Newbie list. I posted a query about my sick computer just this week and got immediate suggestions! See how wonderful this list is! What do you think about beginning anew an old idea? What is an area where you may possibly offer answers? I have a fairly good grasp of the records of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. I also recommend www.lalley.com where you will find a terrific collection of records from the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington. There is sometimes a connection between Philadelphia and Wilmington. My greats Thomas and Catherine MULLEN FITZGERALD married1846 at St. John the Evangelist, Phila. A record of Catherine's conversion from Presbyterian to Catholic is found there in 1847. Their 1st two children were baptized 1846 and 1847 at St. Peter, Wilmington, DE. The remaining five are found in Phila. records. Unfortunately, the Catholic records for Philadelpha cannot be searched on-line, but they are available. Perhaps I can help another person. Any interest? Regards, Mary McCanney Finley

I am a newbie to genealogy, but I love research. I live near the Mesa (AZ) Family History Center. Hubby and I make a trip there about once a month. Hubby is further in his family's history than I am on mine. I'm still in awe of the immense amount of information that is available. If anyone has a need for information that might be available there, I would be happy to do the research for them, as long as they are not in a hurry for the information.
